En 2005 el músico californiano Beck Hansen, Beck a secas, publica su album "Güero", en el que recupera la experimentación y el eclecticismo estilístico de "Odelay" tras el introspectivo "Sea change". En Güero abundan los temas bailables y luminosos pero también se incluye este "Broken drum", pura atmósfera y nostalgia de amores perdidos, con un slide de guitarra prodigioso que vertebra esta gran canción. I see you there, your long black hair.Never forget you.
I see you there / Your long black hair / Your eyes just stare / Your mind is turning
You know I'll laugh / And I won't take it back / I've seen your eyes I know / What you're thinking
And one by one / We'll shoot our guns / We'll have fun / Don't ever doubt it
And when I say / Fare thee well / My only friend / Oh how the days go
Your setting sun / Your broken drum / Your little drugs / I'll never forget you / Never Forget
You
You know I'll laugh / And I won't take it back / I've seen your eyes I know / What you're thinking
And one by one / We'll shoot our guns / We'll have fun / Don't ever doubt it
And when I say / Fare thee well / My only friend / Oh how the days go
Your setting sun / Your broken drum / Your little drugs / I'll never forget you / Never Forget
You
